Mark's Reviews > Giants: The Dwarfs of Auschwitz

Extraordinary story of a family of Rumanian "little people," Jewish entertainers, caught up in the Nazi Final Solution...Bizarrely, it's the "Angel of Deah," Dr. Joseph Mengele, whose ambitious genetics and eugenics research that allowed the troupe to survive the horrors of Auschwitz...While reading their story, I kept imagining that this is what would have happened to the Von Trapp family if they didn't escape across the Alps, and Dr. Mengele wouldn't have intervened and allowed them to survive...Remarkable story.
